0 Unlisted person attributes in reports 1 Michael Garrison posted 8 Years Ago There are person attributes in the system which are not available as columns in reports - and which would be useful. Specifically, in one report I'm working on I'd like to display "GivingGroupId" so that once exported to Excel, we can eliminate duplicate entries (ultimately, it's a report on contributions to a specific account, with "combine giving" checked. The report shows every person who has contributed to the account, not just every family, so there are lots of duplicates since each husband and wife will show the same contribution amount in the report). I thought that a "Lava" type column would do the trick by requesting {{ GivingGroupId }}, but upon more careful parsing of the instructions associated with that column type, I see that I can only display data which is already returned by other columns of the report. Which doesn't help me display something like the Giving Group Id, which is not in the list of available columns. Is there a way to display data like this? Perhaps a different context I can provide in the Lava tag?
Michael Garrison 8 years ago That will satisfy the current need, but I'll add an entry in the "black book" to allow arbitrary Lava to be returned in reports since there is far more data available to Lava than to Reports and any of those other pieces of data may also be helpful someday.
